It's a pity that moonraker themselves don't acknowledge the significant contribution Cris has made to the design of this telescope. They've even copied his images and used them on their website along with some clearly fraudulent testimonial from someone named Derek. I've already contacted them to demand they change their ad.

Duuude!
Steady on!
The AA website makes the same attributions. Its also a little disingenuous to say that they fail to acknowledge CEs contribution. Its a bit like saying Lambourghini, Ferrari and Bentley don't acknowledge the contribution of Gottlieb Daimler.
Every Mooraker is in some sense a 'one-off' with the customer's input sought from the get-go. They share the obvious components of tubes, rings, etc. and the customer (you, me, the spotty guy in the corner) adds their own touches.
The (beautiful) Schiaparelli is in fact an almost stock "Dark Matter" unit that's been downsized and minimally customised.
Having been on the 'phone with Moonraker for a good 1/2 hour last night I can say this: Nobody has ever given me so much care and attention on the off-chance that I MIGHT purchase a scope (or anything for that matter).
Good luck to them!
